39.Ft int
40.Fn pthread_sigmask "int how" "const sigset_t *set" "sigset_t *oset"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Fn pthread_sigmask
44function examines and/or changes the calling thread's signal mask.
45.Pp
46If
47.Fa set
48is not
49.Dv NULL ,
50it specifies a set of signals to be modified, and

54.It Dv SIG_BLOCK
55Union of the current mask and
56.Fa set .
57.It Dv SIG_UNBLOCK
58Intersection of the current mask and the complement of
59.Fa set .
60.It Dv SIG_SETMASK
61.Fa set .
62.El
63.Pp
64If
65.Fa oset
66is not NULL, the previous signal mask is stored in the location pointed to by
67.Fa oset .
68.Pp
69.Dv SIGKILL
70and

72cannot be blocked, and will be silently ignored if included in the signal mask.

75.Fn pthread_sigmask
76returns 0.
